Description

Brooklyn's Yeah Yeah Yeahs led an art-rock insurrection with their debut album 'Fever To Tell' in 2003, and the long-awaited release of their third, 'It's Blitz', cements them as more than merely scene figureheads. While it shares occasional sonic similarities to their earlier work, the majority of 'It's Blitz' sees the band tackling more intricate and considered territory. However, with lead single 'Zero' they prove that they still know how to marshal the dancefloor, albeit with an unexpectedly industrial-sounding edge.

Press Reviews

With new influences and some widescreen moments, IT'S BLITZ finds Yeah Yeah Yeahs refreshed, rejuvenated and raring to go. Clash (magazine) (p.106)

Karen O spends much of IT'S BLITZ! delivering her yearning yowl over gently burbling keyboard chords instead of Zinner's trademark circular-saw riffs....Subbing out an instrument and switching up the tempo that way is a fairly radical change." -- Grade: B+ Entertainment Weekly (p.64)

4 stars out of 5 -- "Opener 'Zero' sees them wholeheartedly embracing the 80s revival wave -- only, trust them to do it with a fresh rawness that's as invigorating as anything on their debut EP. Record Collector (magazine) (p.96)

4 stars out of 5 -- "The turn towards the dance floor makes sense: Yeah Yeah Yeahs are drawing on a tradition of arty New York dance punk that extends from the Talking Heads to TV on the Radio, whose guitarist, Dave Sitek, co-produced IT'S BLITZ! Rolling Stone (p.82)

[T]he alternative pop album of the decade -- one that imbues the Killers' HOT FUSS and MGMT's ORACULAR SPECTACULAR with a remarkable emotional depth and finesse. Spin (p.84)

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have once again raised the bar both for themselves and for the other bands that remain in their shadow Uncut
